Ji Yu smiled without speaking.
Su Peijiu walked directly to the wardrobe, took out a piece of clothing, and then went behind the screen to change. Ji Yu said with a smile at this moment, "Now Junior Sister is much bolder."
"Isn't Senior Brother not interested in someone like me? Since that's the case, I have nothing to care about," Su Peijiu replied while changing her clothes.
Ji Yu moved slowly around the room, his eyes leisurely observing. He murmured softly, "That's uncertain; your Senior Brother, like that person, enjoys nurturing..."
"What did you say, Senior Brother?" Su Peijiu asked, not quite hearing him clearly.
Ji Yu smiled gently, "It's nothing. Once Junior Sister has changed her clothes, I'll give you something good."
After a while, Su Peijiu walked out from behind the screen. "What is it?"
Ji Yu pointed to the bottom of the couch: "Take a look at what it is."
Su Peijiu squatted down and looked at the item on the floor. "It seems to be a piece of clothing."
"Go take it out," Ji Yu had already sat down on the chair and was pouring himself some tea.
Su Peijiu thought to herself that she had once been a princess of a nation; how could she crawl under the couch? However, seeing Senior Brother's indifferent demeanor, she resignedly knelt on the ground to retrieve the piece of clothing.
This... this piece of clothing seems to be men's attire...
Su Peijiu spread the clothing flat on the ground with her fingertips and noticed a red stain on it, frowning. "Who threw this bloody garment under my couch?"
"Bloody garment?" Ji Yu, upon hearing this, put down his teacup and walked over. After seeing the bloodstain on the ground, he spat out the tea he had yet to swallow.
"Senior Brother, what are you doing? That's quite uncouth," Su Peijiu scolded him and then stared intently at the bloodstain.
Ji Yu wiped the tea stains off his mouth with the back of his hand, then pulled Su Peijiu, who was squatting on the ground, up. He lifted her clothes with his toes and then took out a piece of white cloth from somewhere to wrap the clothes. His expression was somewhat unnatural: "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I'll take care of this." Without looking back, he walked back to his room.
Su Peijiu sat on the chair with a furrowed brow, tapping her index finger on the table. Clearly, someone wanted to harm her, and it was the kind of plot that aimed to ruin her completely. First, they abducted her, and then placed a man's clothing in her room. Regardless of the circumstances, it was meant to tarnish her reputation.
But who could this person be?
She figured that if she just sat quietly, everything would be revealed.
Excluding the people sent by Su Chi, because she was still of use to him, so Su Chi would definitely not let anything happen to her at this critical moment before the Flower Festival. Who else wanted to ruin her reputation at this juncture? The answer seemed obvious.
"Silver Dove." She raised her voice and called out. Soon the door opened, and Silver Dove walked in: "Is there something you need, Sister?"
Su Peijiu pointed to the couch and then rested her chin on her hand while looking at her.
Silver Dove's face immediately turned pale; she knelt down on the ground: "This servant deserves to die for not ensuring your safety."
Su Peijiu chuckled softly: "I'm fine; it's just that someone took my quilt while I went to Yuer's room."
"Fortunately, you went to Yuer's room," Silver Dove sighed in relief. If anything had happened to Su Peijiu, she wouldn't have enough lives to pay for it.
Su Peijiu withdrew her smile: "Help me bathe. I want a light breakfast."
"Yes." Silver Dove retreated, still looking pale.
After a while, a maid came in holding a basin of water, but it wasn't Silver Dove. Su Peijiu was somewhat surprised: "Where is Silver Dove?"
The maid looked a bit nervous: "Originally, it was Sister Silver Dove who was supposed to come, but Sister Crimson Heron hasn't returned all night. Sister Silver Dove was very worried, so she sent me first to bring this to you..."
"Crimson Heron hasn't returned all night?" Su Peijiu's eyes flashed with contemplation. Soon she thought of something; after finishing her bath with a cold expression, she calmly had her breakfast in her yard.
Crimson Heron must have been mistaken for her while arranging the bedding last night. Originally, it was thought that the person behind this would appear soon, but it was unexpected that they remained so calm and kept still.
Just as Su Peijiu was about to go out for a stroll, Silver Dove approached with a furrowed brow: "Sister..."
"Has Crimson Heron been found?" Su Peijiu continued to maintain her innocent and clueless image as Second Sister.
Silver Dove shook her head: "Crimson Heron came out to serve Sister at night but never returned. At that time, Sister was with Yuer, so it's possible that Crimson Heron was mistaken for Sister and taken by Villain."
"Ah! What should we do?" Su Peijiu asked anxiously.
Silver Dove sighed: "I thought I could search in Sister's room for clues; perhaps Villain left something behind."
This statement completely unraveled Su Peijiu's doubts. The reason the person behind this had been waiting quietly was to let her people find out on their own. That person knew that all of Su Peijiu's people were sent by Su Chi, and any discovery would surely be reported back to Su Chi.
Clever! Truly clever! Su Peijiu sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she still appeared gentle: "Then Silver Dove, hurry inside and look for her. We must rescue Crimson Heron."
"Sister, don't worry too much; Crimson Heron will be fine." After entering, Silver Dove began searching everywhere, not even overlooking the cracks in the walls.
Standing at the door facing the sunlight, Su Peijiu felt a chilling cold deep within her bones. The other party was so familiar with her character setup; she absolutely could not trust them! But... who could this person be?
